The arrested suspect has been identified as Khaled Awad, 24, of Brighton, according to Boston.com.
According to the report, the attacker held the rabbi at gunpoint and tried to force him into a car. The rabbi escaped to a nearby park, where the attacker stabbed him multiple times, before trying to flee after the rabbi caused a commotion trying to fight him off.
